I'd like it much better without the strawberry, banana, and paint cans in.

Well, an incredibly well-done way-inside joke of Threadless food-with-faces tees. for once tho, the shirt plays nearly as well without people understanding the joke, as the four colored design is simply stunning to look at from close or way back. I rarely give the Threadless joke tees a decent score, but this one surpasses that simple concept and catches the eye with so much more! 4$ and keep the fruit.

I was gonna say that the pic looked like the bastard child of Albert Einstein and Andy Warhol...i think kooky manipulated both designs to appear as something much more different.

thank you.

go to the links.... yea its munipulated... but i was just wondering how far you have to go before its not stealing something else. not trying to rip the design at all.... i love andy warhol work, so i noticed it instantly. but where do you draw the line between orginality and theft? just wondering

i know that the face will be trouble for me about copyright issue. But...before it has been put in the running this design has passed the judge approval. c'mon threadless, decline this design. It make me feel like a thieft/ copycat. so...i'll try with other face and other fruit. thank you jback

lunchboxbrain on Mar 27 '07
kooky may have used those photos (or some other photo) as a simple reference but knowing how talented he is and how awesome his work is, it's clear he didn't "steal" anything.



get over it and enjoy the sub for what it is: a great design. 5

whoa, settle down jback006... i personally thought this was supposed to be an homage to warhol, because it obviously is his portrait/the velvet underground banana. these works are pretty famous/well-known, and i don't think kooky wasn't trying to pass these off as his own works at all; just appropriating them.



nice work, kooky.

this is not a copy at all. it's an obvious and awesome tribute to andy warhol. it sucks that those stupid comments are now the first things people will see as they scan down. before you make accusations like that, jback, it would help to know what you are talking about.



the more i look at this, the more i like it. excellent job, kooky!



(and yay steveo!)

I viewed it as a homage to warhol as well... plus the food with faces reference is quite witty... great design kooky.

i am obsessed with warhol, don't get me wrong

but i don't know if i like it in this tee

the messages are two totally different if you actually study his self portraits and why he did them

(sorry to be a bitch) i have no problem with you using a warhol pic, it just doesn't seem to have the same message as your art if you look it up. but keep the great subs coming

I don't even think it looks like Warhol. I think it looks BETTER than anything that man did. Funny work, kooky, but I wonder if the joke is a little TOO Threadless bloggers?
mezo
   mezo on Mar 27 '07
Shit, at second glance...the joke doesn't even matter. It's witty enough for everyone to understand.

It's nothing to do with copyright issue, or stealing arts.

It's Warhol. He's belong to everybody now, and about the photos, it's genuinely very famous Warhol photos, just like Che Guevara famous photos which can be seen every where.

And this design was Warhol dedicated, look at the pop art color.



Good luck Dina!

Your style fits this image perfectly! Very clean, yet just enough splatter to fit the graffiti design.
